The Fabulous Flying Mrs Miller

In the world of early aviation, the pressure was on to set new records and propel yourself to fame (and employment) on their backs. Australian aviatrix Mrs Keith "Chubbie" Miller was the first woman to fly between England and Australia - and embarked on a flying career as the great depression took hold. Carol Baxter has written the story of this forgotten Australian aviatrix, complete with dramatic crashes in the Caribbean and a salacious murder trial.
